All,
A bit off-top, but Steven M. Bellovin is a highly regarded security author
and internet expert - one of the great internet old timers. Probably his
best known book:
http://www.wilyhacker.com/
Web application security and internet security go hand in hand and you can't
have the former without the later, so perhaps this is on-topic.
See you there,
